New 16 oz. cans, a sister brewery in Rhode Island, and signing with a local distributor help fuel expansion for this young Cape Cod brewery

SOUTH DENNIS, Mass., -- The week leading up to Memorial Day Weekend has been busy for Devil’s Purse Brewing Co., as local shelves in package stores around Cape Cod are stocked for the first time with cans, and fresh kegs of beer are delivered to local draft accounts.

The silver 16 oz. cans of Surfman’s Check ESB and solid white “tall-boys” of Handline Kölsch are from the first batches of beer brewed at Devil’s Purse’s sister brewery, Isle Brewers Guild (IBG), located in Pawtucket, R.I. Devil’s Purse is one of the partners at this new craft brewing cooperative along with Narragansett Beer, Newburyport Brewing Co., Farmer Willie’s Ginger Beer, and Sons of Liberty Spirits.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the look and the taste of the beers coming from our brewing partner at IBG,” said Mike Segerson, cofounder of Devil’s Purse. “It’s great to finally offer cans of Kölsch and ESB to not only our customers who visit the brewery but also to all of the local retail stores that have been patiently waiting for Devil’s Purse cans.”

As part of the lead up to Devil’s Purse’s Second Anniversary at its South Dennis location, Segerson mentioned how the brewery completed a small limited canning run of its Cuddy Queen Pale Ale and Table Beer (brewed with Denali and Motueka hops).

“It was great to finally be in a position to hire Iron Heart, and can a couple of our favorite recipes,” said Segerson. Based out of Portsmouth, N.H., Iron Heart is a mobile canning company that travels around to small breweries throughout New England to package beer.

Another milestone for Devil’s Purse this spring was partnering with local beer distributor Colonial Wholesale Beverage, based in Dartmouth, Mass.

“With all of the beer now being produced out of IBG our one delivery van was not going to cut it and we knew we would have to sign with a distributor,” said Matt Belson, cofounder of Devil’s Purse. “Signing with Colonial was a no-brainer based on their business reputation and coverage in the local market. And Colonials’ sales force includes some of the most knowledgeable and customer service focused reps in the craft beer business.”

Colonial took over sales and distribution for Devil’s Purse in April and has already expanded the availability of Devil’s Purse. The wholesaler’s territory includes Cape Cod, the islands, Bristol County and most of Plymouth County.

“Matt and Mike have done an incredible job launching Devil’s Purse and building their brand in just two short years,” said Frank Sousa III, owner of Colonial Wholesale Beverage. “We’re honored they chose to partner with Colonial and we are excited to be able to now offer these great tasting beers to all of our local accounts.”

To celebrate the brewery’s second year anniversary a party is being held at The Red Nun Bar and Grill in Dennis Port on Saturday, May 27, and a summer kick-off bash at the Beach House and Grill at Chatham Bars Inn on Monday, May 29.

“It’s been a fun and wild ride these first two years and we are excited about what’s in store for Devil’s Purse in the years to come,” said Belson. “But all of this success would not be possible without the support of our families, friends and the tremendous community that has grown and continues to support Devil’s Purse Brewing Company. And to everyone from all of us at Devil’s Purse we send our profound thanks and gratitude.”

Devil’s Purse Brewing Company Partners with Isle Brewers Guild

Relationship establishes sister brewery in Rhode Island to expand production and distribution for Cape Cod brewery.

SOUTH DENNIS, Mass., --Devil’s Purse Brewing Company announced today it has partnered with Isle Brewers Guild (IBG), a new brewing cooperative located in Pawtucket, R.I., to produce two of its most popular styles at their state-of-the-art production facility.

Devil’s Purse Co-founder, Matt Belson, said the partnership would enable the Cape Cod-based brewery to increase its capacity, offer new packaging options and expand its distribution footprint within Massachusetts and throughout New England.

“Since we first opened May 2015 the local and off-Cape demand for our European inspired beers has been incredible, but we’re quickly approaching maximum capacity at our brewery located in South Dennis,” said Belson. “Now we have the ability to scale up our production without the expense of ordering more equipment and looking for a new space -which is a major incentive. And when we met with IBG and saw the depth of talent and brewing experience they’re putting together we knew this would be a great partnership for both of our companies.”

Belson said the two styles of Devil’s Purse beers to be brewed at IBG include their popular Handline Kölsch and Surfman’s Check ESB, with the first kegs and 16 oz. cans ready for delivery mid-to-late spring.

The new IBG campus includes a 130,000 sq. ft. brewing facility that features a 100-bbl brew house, packaging lines, tasting room and outdoor space to be used for events as well as a beer garden. Other New England breweries involved in the IBG cooperative include Newburyport Brewing Company and Narragansett Beer.

"We are excited to partner with Devil's Purse as their second brewery," said Jeremy Duffy, co-founder of Isle Brewers Guild. “Devil's Purse is producing some terrific beers and has built a great following. This is exactly why we started Isle Brewers Guild - to support great New England breweries as they expand to meet consumer demand."

With two of Devil’s Purse’s core beers now being brewed with IBG in Rhode Island, Devil’s Purse Co-founder Mike Segerson said they would increase production of its specialty and limited beers at its South Dennis location.

“Our Handline Kölsch and Surfman’s Check ESB are such great and approachable beers and it will be exciting to see these styles produced in larger quantities and canned for the first time,” said Segerson. “And now we will have the extra in-house capacity to brew a lot more of our Pollock Rip and Stonehorse IPAs, Skatemouth and Cuddy Queen Pale Ales, table beers, Intertidal Oyster Stouts and brettanomyces beers that are always in such high demand.”

4.6% Alc.

Our new Blanc, Belgian-style wit is made with Pilsner malt, wheat, flaked wheat, flaked oats, orange blossom honey and the addition of bitter orange peel and coriander seed. We then used a strain of yeast available from our friends over at bootleg biology. The wit is delicious, with floral and citrus aromas and a soft palate.

PNG - Dark Mild Ale

(with cold brewed Papua New Guinea coffee added).

4.3% Alc.

The reboot of our Dark Mild Ale! This new release is made with coffee from Papua New Guinea that we sourced from our friends over at The Art of Roasting in Chatham. This low alcohol beer is great anytime of day. It’s smooth and velvety with wonderful chocolate and caramel aromas that pass through to the palate.

Shiso-Berry Ale

5.6% Alc.

The grain bill for this beer is made with Pilsner, wheat, flaked rice and flaked oats. We added a small bittering and aroma addition of New Zealand Pacifica hops. A large amount of Shiso leaf was then added which contributes a bitter, herbal character to the beer. Our Shiso leaf was locally sourced from our friends at Punkhorn Farm in Brewster. After primary fermentation was competed we re-fermented the beer with the addition of blackberry and raspberry puree. The berries create the aroma of this beer, but the palate is dry and finishes with hints of mint and green tea.
